Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (CILANTRO) (5-2) - Lightly-raced filly stretches out in distance in her second back from a bit more than a 6-month layoff. Very wide before tiring at this level going 7 furlongs Aug. 17 at Saratoga, speed/stalker has worked twice since and this Pletcher trained 3yo has John Velazquez back aboard after a one-race absence.
2nd pick: #4 (Land Mine) (2-1) - The morning line and probable favorite, she just missed (a 1/2 length) in a $100K stakes for fellow state-breds going 9 furlongs at Saratoga Aug. 17. It was her second back after spending 7 months on the sidelines and she's a major threat despite moving in with 'open' company.
3rd pick: #5 (Indy's Lady) (6-1) - Strong finisher rallied from far back to miss by a 1/2 length in a $200,000 stakes going 9 furlongs Aug. 24 at Saratoga. Stakes winner should factor and a fast and/or contested pace would aid her chances.
